hey there friends and thank you so much for visiting my page =) In a few short words I am a 19 year old English major at Sacred Heart University with a passion for family, love, creativity, yoga, and i kind of like peanut butter too ;). Sure, those are just a few tidbits about me but what is the story of the girl behind the jar?

Guess what I just did?

Baked! Well, kinda.

and it was good.

Really good.

and it was like, ridiculously simple.

Oh, and only took 1 and a half minutes to cook in the microwave.

boo-yah.

Microwave Honey Banana Cornbread for one
(adapted from Ashley’s Buckwheat Bake recipe)

  • 1/4 cup corn flour
  • 1 Tbsp honey (can use maple syrup if you want. Or both. Why not?)
  • 1/2 banana [mashed]
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp flaxseed meal
  • 1 Flax egg (1 Tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp liquid)
  • a few splashes of milk (coconut milk is bomb.. just saying)
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

Mix all ingredients and cook in the microwave for 1 min 30 seconds.

After cooking, the bread was really soft and gooey, which I loved – but I decided to toast it for the “golden brown crust” effect, as Giada would say.

with cottage cheese, almond butter, and berries

Do you prefer single serving recipes or making huge batches of foods? I am all about cooking for one and adore any recipe catered to the solo chef. While huge batches of food are great (hello, leftovers) It’s so much easier for me at school to make an individual serving rather than stocking the fridge with tupperware containers filled with leftovers that I’ll probably never eat anyway. Plus, I take up enough fridge space with my large and in charge containers of greek yogurt and almond butter.

What are some of your favorite single serving recipes? I adore all of Jess and Ashley’s breakfast bakes and Katie’s single lady cupcakes! I think I’ve got the breakfast/snack thing down but I always struggle to find lunch and dinner recipes for myself.

Off to do some serious shopping with mamabear. Cha-ching! Love y’all!
